Queue class (upd v.1.2)
as3, queue, stack

Sometimes you need to do a bunch of similar tasks at once (create similar display objects, render stuff, reindex pools etc), but often this may be a pain due to performance limits (which may result in poor user experience) and that’s where the queue pattern comes to the rescue. I’ve wrote a simple thought useful util for that purpose.
Play with the demo below (a simple IQueueItem implementation) or download the source (com.chargedweb.queue.*)
UPDATE: v.1.2 update + docs updated

/**

var r:int = (color & 0xFF0000) >> 16;
var g:int = (color & 0x00FF00) >> 8;
var b:int = color & 0x0000FF;
r += (255 * scale)*(r/(r+g+b)); r = (r > 255) ? 255 : r; r = (r < 0) ? 0 : r;
g += (255 * scale)*(g/(r+g+b)); g = (g > 255) ? 255 : g; g = (g < 0) ? 0 : g;
b += (255 * scale)*(b/(r+g+b)); b = (b > 255) ? 255 : b; b = (b < 0) ? 0 : b;
return (r << 16 &amp;amp;amp; 0xff0000) + (g << 8 &amp;amp;amp; 0x00ff00) + (b &amp;amp;amp; 0x0000ff);

The news about the new “flash killer” (adobe shared the wallaby source code to google or it’s just a clone?) flew over around the web (even Lee Brimelow posted about it). So i’ve decided to check it out and see it myself.
So, i made a simple as2 movie compiled for fp6 ( they recommend version below 8 ) to see if swiffy could manage to convert it.
Original as2 movie http://chargedweb.com/labs/files/2011/06/fp6.as2.swf
Swiffy output http://chargedweb.com/labs/files/2011/06/fp6.as2.html
it’s you to comment…

Do you like sharp border corners (miter ones)?
Well, i do, but adobe does not, probably… (watch the third square with JointStyle.MITER joints set)
ps: yeap, the issue can be fixed by setting the LineScaleMode.NORMAL, instead of the NONE, but what if i do need the NONE mode on?

Copying objects bytearray vs for in loop
as3, bytearray, copy, for in loop, object
Mar 01code, thoughts2 Comments
I was curious, which of those would be quicker in the “copying objects” battle — bytearray / for in loop.
Foreseeing your possible thoughts, “yes” i do realize that those methods actually differ (bytearray copies the entire object, uses describeType etc), but still curiosity takes over
And, frankly, i was surprized with the results. See it for yourself.
